Thursday 7 November 2024.
Day 988 of #Russia's war in Europe, and the continent's leaders meet today not knowing if the President of the biggest member of NATO is now a friend or foe.

These are still crucial times for #Ukraine and for all of us.
Welcome. Read my daily thread..
#Kyiv and #Odesa were the main targets overnight in #Russia's attack, with damage to both cities.

More on that in forthcoming posts, but first the link back to the start of yesterday's thread.
Not many views, but they missed some good stories!

There was a discussion on here yesterday about loss of followers. Probably some bots, but there has been a mini exodus from X-itter. I'm now down 250.

To repeat, I am on🔵 - Sky
People had trouble finding me, though it is the same @ name. If you cannot find me, drop me a DM.
Still #Russia throws bodies at #Ukraine on the front line, quite literally. Another 1,400 sacrificed for Putin's imperialistic dream.

Some other categories ticking up a little too. 10 x tanks, 8x special equipment and 78 vehicles, though these are mostly small motorised bikes. Image
One man was injured in #Odesa.

Luckily, the 30 year old was the only victim when an 11-storey building and numerous cars and a gas pipeline were damaged.

#Russia's attack drones swarmed the southern city, with falling debris a regular problem. Image

The #UK has sanctioned 56 more people and entities helping #Russia's military machine.

28 companies are targeted including the Russian mercenary group "Africa Corps".

Now to #Kyiv, where there was even more damage than in #Odesa.

The air alert lasted all night (more than 8 hours)
Six districts of the city were affected by falling debris or drone strikes.

UAVs flew low over #Ukraine's capital today and one block suffered a direct hit.

In #Kyiv, only two injuries are reported after the night attack. Some people had become a little blasé about the sirens, but with #Russia's improved models and density of attacks, no-one takes a chance any more and heads to shelters.

Much later than usual, #Ukraine's air force released details of the overnight attack and it was a big one!

106 killer drones were fired by #Russia.

74 were shot down and 25 stopped with EW.
No news of any returning to Russia nor #Belarus, so 7 hit Ukrainian territory. Image
#Russia's drone attack also caused problems in two more of #Ukraine's oblasts.

Emergency power outages were applied in #Zhytomyr and #Rivne regions.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A reminder that the EU summit is underway in #Budapest.

A picture can say a thousand words. The "Orb" trying to push #Ukraine into a corner?

Some rumours that the Budapest Barrel may get Trump to speak via video-link at the session. That would not be appreciated by most! Image
Oh how sad..

A homophobe from #Russia is said to have insulted Ladyboys in #Thailand.

They had the last laugh. The guy is now relying on Thai doctors and nurses as he lies in hospital.
An employee at a gas (petrol) station has been killed in #Sumy region.

#Russia's drones hit a high rise building as well as the service station. Railway infrastructure was also damaged and a woman aged 53, a worker for rail company Ukrzaliznytsia, was also injured.

#StopRussia
Remarkable details reported by @ASTRA_PRESS
on how ineffective and costly their frontline is in the war with #Ukraine.

The first graphic is a translation of the report, showing a #Russia Z blogger admitting infantry last under a month because they throw in untrained soldiers. Image

#Zaporizhzhia has been hit by more aerial bombs.

Another hospital and more residential buildings were struck.

There are wounded, but numbers have not been given.
#RussiaIsATerroristState Image

Videos now coming in from #Zaporizhzhia.

Five workers in the hospital are among the injured.

A reminder, the west can stop, or massively reduce these aerial/glide bomb attacks, but can't be bothered to do so.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Zaporizhzhia

Hospital hit by #Russia as well as another apartment block.

Five hospital workers known to be injured.

Deliberate or accidental?

Did President of #Romania, Klaus Iohannis, deliberately deliver a sly snub to #Hungary's PM?
Viktor Orbán was left waiting for a while - I mean come on, he's difficult to miss!
#Ukraine's people don't lose their sense of humour.

During #Russia's drone attack last night, someone ordered a taxi to travel 2km to tackle a "Shakhed" 😂

It's not known if the cab completed its mission 😉 Image

#Zaporizhzhia UPD

Four people are known to have died in #Russia's latest attack on civilians.

Some locals say their relatives are still missing and thought to be trapped under rubble. In the last half hour two people were rescued.

@JoeBiden you're still President. Act NOW!
#Ukraine has urged NATO partners to create a "Humanitarian Shield" along its western border. @rustem_umerov was speaking at the SE Europe Def Ministers' conference.

🇺🇦Dep DM Serhiy Boev pleaded with members to speed up transfer of their old Soviet stock.

Some good people in #Russia

Military are angry that they lost a lot of equipment (Starlinks, radios etc) when a warehouse caught fire. They are certain it was arson as "there was not even wiring" in the building.
OMG 🤦‍♂️
Stop broadcasting live (unchallenged) the words of a terrorist, wanted war-criminal.

Both UK's main news channels again pander to Putin, show his Valdai speech live.

So in 1942 you'd have shown Hitler live, yes?

Putin lies all the time. Broadcast only factchecked clips
#Sweden has judged its safety could be at risk if it went ahead with off shore windfarms.

14 were planned, but security experts fear it will hinder spotting submarines and hamper radar in the Baltic Sea, just 300 miles from #Kaliningrad.

A whole host of prominent Russiandeaths reported today:

1) Ochur-Suge Mongush - the sadist who castrated a #Ukraine POW

2) Aleksei Milchakov - self-avowed Nazi "I like cutting ears off"

3) Pavel Klimenko - just the 7th Major General to be killed during #Russia's invasion. Image

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Shares are falling astronomically in some of #Russia's well established companies.

The price kept on falling after this post. Samolet is now worth only 1/4 of its value at the start of the year.

Already ten of #Russia's attack drones are in #Ukraine.

Some are heading towards #Kyiv from #Chernihiv oblast.
Hits in #Odesa.

A school in the Slobidka district and residential buildings have been hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Here is the new school in #Odesa targeted by #Russia tonight.

Multiple missiles and then attack drones were fired by the Terrorist State.

#StopRussia Image
A 66 year old joint US, Israeli and Russian national, has admitted illegally transferring hundreds of thousands of semi-conductors to #Russia's military enterprises.

Ilya Kahn faces up to 20 years in prison.

Just one coffee came today, from @PatrickCodring2

But I must also mention the monthly subscription from @NekhayShchastyt, although they appear to be one of those who has exited Muskovy's platform.
Hope he found me on...
Only two injuries reported by officials in #Odesa. The school damaged was a famous 125 year old lyceum, although it had been recently refurbished.

Expect updates in the morning. Image

Aerial bomb launched towards #Vovchansk in north #Kharkiv region.
And finally for today's thread, still 5 drones flying over #Ukraine. Others may yet follow.

But that's all for today.
I've been told my posts here are very hidden today and my page on 🟦s ky is also tough to pin down 🤷‍♂️

C'est la vie. Sleep well everyone 🫂

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image
